Still can't see anything. G meant to copy and paste each individual link to each of your chosen components.

[Staren]

What I'd suggest is copy the names and links to your components into a txt file. It helps for your own use as well as helping everyone at PCMech to see what your working with. Newegg is a great company, but their site isn't as functional as say Amazon. Links to wishlists and the like don't work that well.

That did the trick. A couple of things jump out. Since your not a gamer, the video card is overkill. Video and photo work doesn't typically use the video card that much actually so unless you need hdmi, the on-board video on the motherboard may actually work for you.

I would strongly recommend that you check the sticky here on PSUs. On first blush, I wouldn't trust that Sunbeam. The power to price ratio is quite a bit off.

Video editing and Photoshop benefit from a video card, but you don't have to get one that strong. I have a few quibbles with your choices, so here we go:

Case: Excellent
Mobo/CPU combo: If that's what you want, fine. I'm an Intel person.
Ram: If you do want 8 gb, get a 4 gb x 2 pair instead. 1333 speed, Corsair is fine, also Crucial. Kingston, or A-Data.
Hard drive: Seagate has been having issues. I'd recommend a Western Digital Black for your OS and software. No need to get that big a drive, what you would want is a second drive for all your data. On that one, you can go big, something like a Western Digital Green or Blue would be fine.
Optical drive: You haven't picked one. Get a SATA DVD burner, any brand that Newegg lists except Samsung. I go for cheap, look for the ones with free shipping. Today's cheapie is an Asus, $16.99 shipped.
Video card: Excellent deal here: Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE 100253HDMI Radeon HD 4650 512MB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Low Profile Ready Video Card
Power supply: Newegg.com - Antec EarthWatts EA-500D Green 500W ATX12V v2.3 / EPS12V 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply

glc thank you so much for taking your time and answering my question.... would i need a heating sink?

[Staren]

Retail CPUs like you have come with an acceptable heatsink / fan stock. You'll read the enthusests and overclockers looking at aftermarket heatsinks, but for your application and for a first time builder, they're more trouble then they're worth. You know the one that comes with the chip will work.

Gatito, just a question: what program are you going to be using for video editing? Premiere Pro requires a video card, and benefits greatly from the CUDA technology. Photoshop just requires OpenGL support.

From Adobe's minimum requirements for PS:

•1024x768 display (1280x800 recommended) with qualified hardware-accelerated OpenGL graphics card, 16-bit color, and 256MB of VRAM •Some GPU-accelerated features require graphics support for Shader Model 3.0 and OpenGL 2.0

For Premiere Pro:

•1280x900 display with OpenGL 2.0–compatible graphics card •Adobe-certified GPU card for GPU-accelerated performance Adobe certified cards: •GeForce GTX 285 (Windows and Mac OS) •GeForce GTX 470 (Windows) •Quadro 4000 (Windows and Mac OS) •Quadro 5000 (Windows) •Quadro 5000M (Windows) •Quadro FX 3800 (Windows) •Quadro FX 4800 (Windows and Mac OS) •Quadro FX 5800 (Windows) •Quadro CX

6.5 is 8 years old and does not need much of a video card. The 4650 I linked is more than enough.
